Low-Temperature Solid States of Mesogenic Alkyl-Cyanobiphenyls and Alkoxy-Cyanobiphenyls and Nitroxide Formation Kinetics
Four low temperature solid states of long chain alkyl- and alkoxycyanobiphenyls (n= 5-8) have been obtained by special crystallization technique. The peculiarities of local molecular ordering and molecular dynamics in these phases are discussed on the basis of DTA- and kinetic data. Thermal behavior and molecular dynamic properties of liquid crystalline systems at low temperatures are of great interest. Lowering the temperature led to stabilization.
